Source Distribution has named Tim Gray as its new Commercial Audio Sales Manager – a newly created position ‘in direct response to Source’s growing presence in the Commercial Audio market sector.
The appointment is expected to benefit the PreSonus StudioLive AI range of digital mixers and active PA loudspeakers, Genelec’s A/V Install series of loudspeakers, Røde’s live sound and headset microphones, as well as Eventide digital effects processors and outboard equipment from Universal Audio, API and Lynx.
Based in the field and covering the whole of the UK, Gray’s role will be to develop and manage a growing network of live sound dealers, rental companies and A/V installers. He began his career in technical sales at Shuttlesound before taking the role of Sound Reinforcement Manager at Arbiter (with responsibility for the Harman portfolio, including JBL, dbx and AKG) and later joining Tannoy as Area Sales Manager. As well as having close ties with the principal live sound dealers and rental companies, he has experience of liaising with audio consultants, architects and clients.
‘Last year saw another year of double-digit growth for us, and we see Tim’s business development skills as a springboard to yet more success in a market sector that’s increasingly important to us,’ says Howard Jones, Source Director of Distributed Brands. ‘We feel that we’ve got a really interesting product offering for the Commercial Audio market, and with Tim’s experience and connections we believe that Source’s future has just got a whole lot more exciting.’
